[Comment: Be aware of the floor boss.]

It has now been a complete month since i have entered this damned dungeon meaning that to Rose and Yumi just a single day has been passed since i left the castle, i realy hope Rose doesn't freak out because i didn't come back for a night, i will try to finish this dungeon as soon a possible but i will not be suicidal about it.

I finaly evolved 'weak light spear' into 'light spear', my 'Enhanced body' also improved dramaticaly but there is a good reason for it.

You see, i have filled 20% of this floor with gluttonus aura, which might not sound that impresive but you have to realise that if my calculations are correct then this floor is about 5 kilometers.

This is a 5 times increase when you compare it with the first floor.

The creatures of this floor are also dumb so the do not retreat meaning that i have 'eaten' around 20% pf all the bugs in this floor and all that has happed in just a few days.

But i will have to get out of my safe place to hunt.

The reason is my 'enhanced body' that is on it's way to level 10.

This skill has saved my life time and time again and it has a very important place when it comes to my skill repertoire.

If things go acording to plan then the evolution mission would be the same as last time, to 'eat' a monster that possesses an evolved skill that constitutes 'Strong body'.

This is not a skill that a random insect could possibly possesse.

So i will go and hunt an insect boss, to be more specific the centipede boss.

The spider boss is a no go since they are the strongets group, the ant queen would be surounded by an ungodly amount of ants.

That leaves us with only the centipedes, i also just trained a single target spell so it's perfect.

With that in mind i went towards the direction where most centipedes were coming from.

Ants and centipedes might have a truce but there will be one place where no other kind of monster is allowed, the nest.

Thus i came to the natural conclusion that if i were to follow the increasing number of a certain monster then i would be getting closer to the nest.

The trip was going fine, where ever i would go i would leave behind a path filled with dust, bringing me one step close to achieving my goals, at least before the purple centipedes showed up.

These centipedes were bigger, faster, stronger and more tanky than the normal black centipedes but this didn't annoy me in the least bit because it means that i am getting closer to their nest.

['Enhanced body' has leveled up]

It would also seem that they give a lot more energy.

My traveling speed didn't slow down by a lot, it does take a bit more time for them to be killed by gluttonus aura but using other spells is not nessesary yet.

After some time i finaly arrived to the nest, how did i understand that this is the nest you may ask, well in the previous empty path, which by the way was about 30 meters wide and 20, tall there now stoud a wall made out of centipedes.

[DIng]

['Effect tolerance' has leveled up]

This is the worst thing i have ever seen in my life, the centipedes are moving around and making this hair-raising sound.

While the image might be horible the actual situations is actualy pretty good.

All packed up, i wouldn't even need to do anything other than wait for a bit before my gluttonus aura gobble all of them up, this should also level up my 'enhanced body' to level 10 meaning the only thing i would have to do them will be to kill the centipede boss.

.....

Finaly after 6 hours the wall was gone, i had severely underestimated both the number and they will of the centepedes to protect the nest but in the end all went relatively smoothly, other than a couple of the purple centipedes making a suicide attack.

My skill leved up and thankfully gave out the expected mission.

Now the only thing missing is the boss.

With a dagger in my left hand and a spear made of gluttony i entered the nest.

Unlike the nests of the previous floor this nest it situated in the middle of 3 different paths.

This is not good news, what if the boss randomly decides to give up the nest and run.

While i was having such thoughts i was looking through every crack and cranny for both the boss and other monsters that could potentially cause trouble.

I kept walking but there and when i mean nothing i realy mean nothing.

Gone when the times when there were enought centipedes to make a wall, now i can't even see a single one.

This situation continued until i finaly found something and by something i mean the boss.

Here it was, a pure white centipede so big it could probably swallow a car.

I am realy scared, no not because of it but because it's half dead with a gaping hole right below it's head!

What in Theresias name is going on?!

Then it started to twich before letting out a huge roar.

Instantly the previous dead empty area was now getting filled by centipedes and they were going all around the boss as if to protect it.

"Good thing i was prepared for some bullshit"

Mattering this out loud i through the spear right at it's head.

"PUCHI"

A sound piercing flesh came out and with a loud bang it fell to the flour and began writhing.

It's dead?

Just before i could relax a bit a huge amount of pain began washing my body.

At this point i began making all my mana into gluttonus aura and spread it around, this would not only protect me but also make the evolution go faster, i had noticed this last time when this skill was evolving into 'enchanced body' also i am feeling pain probably because my 'pain tolerance' lost a couple of levels when my title activated.

At some point when the pain stopped i thought i was finaly over this shit but noooooooo!

After a few moments the pain hit even harder this time i could feel it making changes to my organs and bones.

Truth be told i always looked down on people that started screaming after breaking a bone, like couldn't just hold in your scream and maintain your little dignity left.

I would now like to formaly apologise, you people are heroes for not using all the curses contained within your vocabulary.

This isn't even the worst of it, i am currently feeling like hundreds of ants are currently remaking my organs to best fit their interest and let me fucking tell you these thing are very picky!

Finaly after what felt like eons the pain stopped but this time instead of relaxing i became even more vigilant.

[DIng]

"Ohhh thank god all this is over!"

I was so happy that i screamed out loud.

[User has leveled up]

"eee?"

My smile froze on my face, this shit wasn' over yet?!

,,,,,

This time i felt pain in my spine and brain.

I was going to comment on how bad it hurt but the momment it hit me i lost consciousness so i don't realy know how bad it was.

This time i made sure to read the whole message before starting to celebrate.

Not only did it evolve into 'Bronze body' which sound like something out of a xianxia novel but i also got 3 level in 'effect tolerance' which is a nice bonus.

Now to the important stuff.

I looked around only to see that everything was dead and being 'eaten'.

Since this is over with i will next attack the ants since the seem the weaker targ....

I momenteraly pause because i heard something.

"....zzzz"

"What is that sound?"

I followed the sound and turned a corner to see what was happening but nothing was there, only the buzzing sound got a bit louder.

"Wait a moment, a buzzing sound in a floor with only incects?"

I turned one more corner only to find the thing i never wanted to find.

There were bees at the size of 2 fists eating away at a purple centipede.

Without even thinking about it i turned around and run while screaming.

"WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE BEES?!?!?!"
